Chapter 119 Arrest of the Ambassador

At the Embassy of the United States in Edo Castle, Okita, the New Selection Group, came to find the ambassador in suits and ties here. He ordered the New Selection Group's samurai and ronin to surround the embassy.

One by one, the United States ambassadors were kicked out of the embassy, ​​and the rude warriors rushed into the embassy and searched the important archives and documents inside the embassy.

"I want to protest that your Toyoshi shogunate has violated the diplomatic agreement signed between our United States and the shogunate, and this is a declaration of war!"

"You can't search our documents, there are important information in it!"

The ambassadors of the United States stationed in Edo Castle shouted for protest, but responded to them by the samurai, the ronin, who were holding sarcasm and muskets.

The young Okina General looked gloomy: "The Chiyoda steamship, the industry of our shogunate general, was attacked by the Americans in San Francisco. The passenger ship exploded, and more than 20 people sank into the sea, and they were indestructible. Unfortunately, your United States has already provoked and declared war on our shogunate, and the civilians in Edo Castle demanded to attack you, the Western barbarians."

The ambassador couldn't believe it: "I can't, I have no idea about this matter at all. The Chiyoda incident was definitely not done by our United States! At this time, we are fighting with the slave states, and it is impossible to provoke the shogunate!"

Okina Main Sneer sneered: "Who knows what you MPs in the United States are thinking in your mind? Although countries believe that our Oriental Shogunate is only ranked eighth in terms of national strength, second only to the United States, the shogunate is not something you can provoke. If you dare to attack our passenger ship, you must be prepared for war."

"I swear to God that it is definitely not our people. Do you have evidence? I only believe in evidence." The ambassador sent by the United States is not mediocre. He raised his finger and sweared, "Please give us a month. I will send a newspaper to ask Congress to send someone to San Francisco for investigation, and I will definitely give the shogunate a satisfactory reply. Furthermore, San Francisco is now occupied by a brigade of the Union. It is very likely that the Union is intentional to do this and then frame the blame. It is definitely not the United States. Please do not fall into the trap and be calm."

Okita Director-General still sneered: "You said that the Alliance is framed and framing, but it is not a one-sided statement. The Chiyoda crew can prove it. The one who blows up the Chiyoda is the murderer instructed by the United States."

The United States Ambassador was ashen because the Okita Director General insisted that the United States planned the bombing of the Chiyoda.

The other party stubbornly believed that Lincoln and Congress ordered the murderers to attack the Chiyoda, which had already preconceived ideas, which was the most terrifying thing.

The ambassador, who was familiar with diplomatic rules, knew that the shogunate did not care about who destroyed the Chiyoda, but instead relied on the United States to achieve his own goals.

The United States had no fleets or soldiers in the Toyoshi Shogunate. They were unable to resist in the face of the shogunate lackeys, the new group of the shogunate. If the other party arrested them without following the diplomatic treaty, they could only surrender.

After a while, the newly selected group of samurai and ronin brought out the documents retrieved from the embassy, ​​which may contain a large number of diplomatic secrets from the United States.

A samurai hurried to Okina General: "Team leader, we found a telegram signed and sent to San Francisco in the seized documents, which may be related to the Chiyoda incident!"

The United States ambassador shouted: "Nonsense, we don't have such documents at all!"

Instead of looking at the seal, Okita Mainji waved his hand to the left and right samurai and said, "The ambassadors of the United States were detained in prison and accused them of participating in the attack on the Chiyoda."

The warriors brutally arrested dozens of ambassadors, assistants and even the embassy cleaners.

For a moment, the ambassadors stationed in Edo Castle were in panic.

They were afraid that the shogunate like a mad dog was searching for their embassy, ​​and they also destroyed important documents.

The Xinxuan Group is an intelligence organization established by imitating the Jinyiwei. They also have many methods of interrogation. I don’t know what treatment these arrested ambassadors of the United States will suffer after being arrested and imprisoned.

"Miss Anne, this morning, the samurai of the new selection group of the Shogunate raided the United States Embassy, ​​arrested all the ambassadors and accused them of planning to attack the Chiyoda passenger ship. Now all of these ambassadors have lost contact."

The embassy of the Empire, Anne Cavendish, the Minister, heard that this big thing happened in Edo Castle, held her chin: "The shogunate just wanted to find a shameless cloth to interfere with the Civil War. Anyway, these ambassadors had nothing to do if they were full in Edo Castle, and it would be okay to be detained by the Xinxuan Group. The Xinxuan Group should not kill them."

The assistant asked, "Miss Anne means we are not going to ask the United States for these ambassadors?"

Anne shook her head: "No, we should still put pressure on the shogunate symbolically to demand that they immediately release the ambassadors of the United States, otherwise other ambassadors of the anti-Ming alliance would be heartbroken by our indifference. As for whether the new elected group agreed to release the ambassadors, that is their business."

Another assistant knocked in: "Miss Anne, London sent a telegram about your transfer..."

Lincoln, the capital of the United States, learned about the Chiyoda incident, and they also learned about the newly elected group arrested their embassy members and accused the United States of planning the Chiyoda incident.

Lincoln immediately realized that this was a frame-up. These politicians often made excuses for war. As long as the conflict between the two sides intensified so that the dispute must be resolved through war, it is simple to find an excuse to start a war.

Lincoln found Secretary of State William Henry Siward: "You sent someone to put public pressure on the Tokugawa shogunate, negotiate with them, and demanded that the shogunate release our ambassador. We must insist that the attack on the Chiyoda was a member of the Union, and that our United States cannot take the blame."

Siwald said: "I will try to handle this properly..."

When Lincoln was about to leave Westward, he remembered something and said to him: "You go to Europe in person and send people to all important cities, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and Rome, and strive for the sympathy of the continent. We must stand on the commanding heights of public opinion to gain support. The "Proclamation on the Liberation of Black Slaves" is being drafted. At that time, millions of "Proclamation" will be spread to the land of the Union. The slaves of the Union will definitely feel dissatisfied and try to escape to the north. The enemy will defeat them without attacking them."

Siwald asked: "The general attack on the rebels will be launched soon, why do you still issue a declaration?"
